Hello from DFW!! Cummins powered K5 fun...

[skywalker18]

More!!!!

I have something special for the dash...

Metal for bumper.

Making mounting plates.

Mounted.

First time the tires have been on with the new paint. Got a little helper too, who is slightly taller than the tires.....easy fix

39's just aren't cutting it.

Not completely finished yet.

Standing tall and she can barely see in the bed, hahahaha

Almost finished with the bumper.

Classes are finished and I have been knocking out all the little things left with Casey.... Wiring is complete minus the transmission, but I need to go to the junk yard to get the connectors I need.

Pusher fans mounted.

Exhaust completed.

Trans-cooler lines made.

Filling the tranny.

She was thirsty.

Casey and I working on the shifter linkage.

Carbon fiber switch panel I made.

Then tried to fire it up!!!! The picture is blurry from all the smoke that we were puffing.

Need to bleed the high pressure pump and fuel lines and then she will be purring!!! Anyone have a trusted source for custom driveshafts locally to the Dallas area off 35E?

Those the same ebay fans I have? Harry up already, let's get that puppy driving!

WOOT WOOT!!! She runs!!! Still have a couple electrical bugs to figure out, but it was great to hear it run in the truck!!

Thanks to the twins (24vriviera and his brother) for lending us a hand!!!

If you haven't found anyone for the drive shaft yet, look into Fort Worth Gear and Axel.

Thanks again to the twins for coming out!!! This last weekend was a HUGE step!! Rare Bear got a new turbo, and she screams now!!!! We BBQ'd to celebrate and went on many joy rides!!!

Added a cover to hide the gap from the body lift.

Cleaned and painted the sun visors.

Swapping turbine housing on the new HX35 that is going on.

Everyone eating some delicious food.

Just have to finish the front bumper and this bear will be ready for the road!!!
